“Durham says short of basically an overhaul of FBI personnel suddenly rediscovering their sense of integrity, you’re going to continue having problems at this institution that has vast powers, extra-constitutional powers, over the average American,” Federalist Culture Editor Emily Jashinsky said on “Counter Points.”
“You get back to the John Adams quote, which is, you know, our Constitution was made wholly for a moral — I think he said also a religious — people. There are all kinds of quotes from the founders talking about how the small ‘r’ republicanism, a constitutional republic, only works when you have like a moral consensus — and a good moral consensus. And James Comey, his idea of what constitutes rule of law is laughable. It fails on its face.”
